Today, I fractured my tibia, fibula, and tore a tendon in my ankle. How? You might ask. By stepping in a hole at soccer practice. Now I’ll be out for the entire season with months of rehab. FML

Today, after a month and a half of recovering from a sprained ankle, I was back in the gym training. After a grueling, sweaty session on the treadmill, I tripped walking down the stairs which sprained my other ankle. Back to round one. FML

Heavy load

Today, I was getting ready for work. When I stepped back, my ankle rolled and my fat ass landed on it with my foot sideways under me. Now I’m in a boot for 6 weeks and have 6 weeks of physical therapy ahead of me. FML

How do you even do that? What is an ACL?

ComoEsJuan 24

Friday 27 March 2015 0:17

It's one of the ligaments in your knee that helps keep it stable.

kaitlin1234567 9

It's your anterior cruciate ligament. It's in your knee, and if you badly tear it, you could need surgery.

Overextension of your knee, usually

Its honestly not rare at all for it to happen. I know many athletes who have torn there ACL and got back out there and fully recovered but everyone is defiantly different. I went through physical therapy for a knee injury when I shouldn't have been in physical therapy because my knee was not answering well at all to it. Then again everyone is different and I wish op the best.

your acl is your anterior cruciate ligament it's in your knee. it keeps your tibia from moving anteriorly. you tear it by planting your foot and twisting your body inversely so the top part of your leg twists in. and it tears the acl

Today, after my husband got ready for work, he touched my arm and slowly bent down. I assumed he was going to say he loved me and to have a good day. As I quickly thought of a loving response and prepared to give him a kiss, he whispered in my ear, "Did you put a dead mouse in the toilet?" Thanks a lot, cat. FML

Today, I was out for a nice walk and saw a man being attacked by a large crowd. Instinctively I ran to help him. I pushed one "thug" off him and that little time allowed him to escape. I later found out the man I saved had just keyed someone's car and they had intervened. Guess whose car. FML
